PSPaudioware has released two free EQ updates and a new plugin, PSP ClassicQlite. Existing ClassicQ customers get version 1.9.0 at no extra cost, while anyone with a registered PSPaudioware account can grab the lighter EQ for free.
The main refresh covers PSP ClassicQ and ClassicQex. Both can run directly on Apple Silicon Macs, and users get AAX and VST3 compatibility. That should make the pair easier to use with newer audio setups.
Preset handling has had some work as well. Producers can mark their favorite settings and give presets names as long as 255 characters. PSP has also moved both plugins to its newer preset bar layout.
Visually, the plugins get sharper graphics for high-resolution screens. The rear control panel has a fresh design, with extra setup options and an automatic way to check for newer versions. PACE iLok protection joins the package as part of PSP's licensing setup.
Then there's ClassicQlite. This free EQ takes its design cues from old British mixing consoles, with controls aimed at shaping tone rather than adding a huge stack of complex features.
Users can adjust bass and treble through shelving bands with selectable Q settings. The middle frequencies get a separate EQ section with Auto Q, while a high-pass filter helps trim unwanted low-end content.
For extra grit, PSP has fitted its second-generation SATuration processing. That gives producers an option for analog-style drive without needing a separate distortion plugin.
The free edition also has a resizable interface and updated preset tools. It supports VST2, VST3, AU, and AAX, giving registered users several ways to load it into their DAW.
